Andrade revealed in an interview with DeporTV on TV Azteca that his lawyers are currently in negotiations with WWE lawyers to figure out a way for him to get out of the one-year no-compete clause which was triggered when he was fired.
The Mexican star admitted that he went to WWE originally to be with his then-wife Charlotte Flair, but then he got divorced and things got complicated.
He admitted that he had warnings from the company for drugs and supplements that were legal in Mexico, but not legal in the United States, and he couldn’t consume them due to the WWE Wellness Policy.
Andrade made it sound like he reached an agreement with WWE for his departure, even though he was legally fired. He said that when he returned to AEW, WWE did not like it and that’s when things went sideways.
He was also using his ex-wife’s lawyer at the time and couldn’t continue to do so. He claimed that his lawyer didn’t read the 12-month clause if he got released and that’s why he’s in this situation now.
Andrade said that they can fight it and go to court but that might complicate things and make it take longer, so for now, they’re negotiating in good faith.
He said regardless, he’s always grateful to WWE for his career and it’s up to them to free him from the contract.
